Guys
I might start a flame fest here but this 'Java' Programmer v 'Delphi' Programmer is indicative of the malaise that is infecting this industry.
It has always been that way. Basically, recruitment is a shitty job. Therefore, the agencies and recruiters can only be tooled up to assess 'knowledge' and not 'skill'.
In their defense, the class hierarchies attached to languages such as C++, Delphi, Java, .... mean that the need for knowledge (as well as skill) is increasing.
In transitioning from Delphi to C# say, where is the effort. Syntax (1 day) , IDE (1/2 day), class hierarchy (weeks and weeks).
